About Me

I am a wife to my wonderful husband, Ralph, and a mom to Madison (9), Nathan (6), and Lauren (5). I work full-time as an Ophthalmic Technician. I love to cook and try new recipes, but hate to clean up afterward. I am working on being more frugal, more organized, and craftier. Welcome to my little corner of the web. Kick off your shoes and stay awhile.

If you've ever been to Foster's restaurant in New Orleans, you know how popular their Bananas Foster dessert is. You may have even heard of it without ever visiting here. This is a copycat version of the classic.

Melt butter in a medium skillet. Stir in brown sugar, orange juice and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, over medium high heat until the mixture reduces by about 1/4. The sauce will be slightly syrupy.

Peel bananas and cut into 2 inch slices. Place carefully into the sauce. Cook just long enough to heat through. Baste the bananas with the sauce instead of stirring. Be careful not to overcook or they will become mushy.
